Freedom
Lady Margia and her Freedom for Women League are scandalising Edwardian England – demanding the right to vote, own property, and not to be spanked by their menfolk. Lady Margia is determined that her campaign will succeed – whatever the cost. But how can she reconcile her beliefs with the attraction she feels towards the traditional Sir Cormac Adair?
Meanwhile, Lady Isobelle sees Lady Margia's campaign as her chance to inherit her family estate, and, along with her maid Edie, breaks household rules and attends a local rally.
Join Lady Margia, Lady Isobelle and Edie as they hit the campaign trail, encountering intrigue, romance, spankings and surprises along the way.

SHORT-TERM PAIN, FOR LONG-TERM GAIN
This was an interesting continuation from the Betrothed book. At a wedding, the groom is given a paddle by the bride’s father, and then after the ceremony, they go to their home, he takes his bride upstairs, paddles her and then beds her while the guest waits for the feast downstairs. After the deeds are performed, he goes out and shows the paddle and sheet with blood to the wedding guest, and then the couple joins their guest for a feast. While very archaic, and more at the creative pen of the author, it still leaves the reader with an interesting story. There were bedding ceremonies where the ladies helped dress the bride in her nightgown and the men the groom, led them to the marriage bed, if a minister were present, a blessing would be said, and they everyone left allowing the couple to consummate their marriage.
Lady Margia is appalled by the standards upheld that a man has all the rights and women are just barely above servants, and the tradition of the bedding ceremony when a couple does marry. She holds illegal rallies trying to gain women’s support and hoping parliament will pass a bill allowing women rights to property and eventually to vote and hold Parliamentary positions. What Lady Margia wasn’t counting on was Sir Cormac Adair and developing feelings for him. The plot kept me enthralled, the pages turning and there were several romances happening, a few horrid and abusive men beating women, plus some properly administered spankings done in a loving and corrective way. I am sure we will see more in this series, and I look forward to reading more by this author.

Lady Margia's campaign
Women should not be spanked. I enjoyed the multiple storylines and there was enough character development to feel familiar with the characters. There were a few times that the punishments were on the border of too harsh but they were not described more than minimally so as not to offend. Great new book by a new author and I look forward to more.
